Motivated by the development and deployment of large-scale dynamical systems, often composed of geographically distributed smaller subsystems, we address the problem of verifying their controllability in a distributed manner. In this work…
Control systems should enforce a desired property for both expected modeled situations as well as unexpected unmodeled environmental situations. Existing methods focus on designing controllers to enforce the desired property only when the…
Temporal networks are a class of time-varying networks, which change their topology according to a given time-ordered sequence of static networks (known as subsystems). This paper investigates the reachability and controllability of…
This paper addresses questions regarding controllability for `generic parameter' dynamical systems, i.e. the question whether a dynamical system is `structurally controllable'. Unlike conventional methods that deal with structural…
This paper addresses a structural design problem in control systems, and explicitly takes into consideration the possible application to large-scale systems. More precisely, we aim to determine and characterize the minimum number of…
We consider continuum ensembles of linear time-invariant control systems with single inputs. A sparsity pattern is said to be structurally averaged controllability if it admits an averaged controllable linear ensemble system. We provide a…
Various controllability conditions have been obtained by researchers for heterogeneous networked systems with linear dynamics. However, the literature for nonlinear, heterogeneous networked systems is comparatively less. In this paper we…
